道达尔能源在阿塞拜疆的巨型天然气田开始生产

油价网7月10日报道，法国道达尔能源公司(totalenergy)周一表示，该公司及其合资伙伴SOCAR已开始在阿塞拜疆里海的Absheron天然气和凝析气田生产天然气。

Absheron油田第一阶段的开发能力为每天400万立方米的天然气和每天1.2万桶的凝析油。

分析人士说，这些天然气将在阿塞拜疆国内市场销售，这可能会从阿塞拜疆其他油田腾出更多天然气用于出口。

道达尔能源和阿塞拜疆国家石油公司(SOCAR)在Absheron项目中各持有50%的权益，该项目由Absheron石油公司联合运营公司(JOCAP)运营。

道达尔能源也是一家大型的液化天然气交易商，该公司在一份声明中表示：“Absheron气田的开发提供了额外的天然气供应，以满足不断增长的需求，具有竞争力的技术成本和低温室气体排放强度，符合道达尔能源的战略。”

欧盟在过去一年里实现了天然气进口多样化，目标是到2027年不再依赖产能大国天然气。欧洲的液化天然气进口量飙升，从挪威的管道进口量也有所增加，使挪威成为欧盟最大的单一天然气供应国。

欧洲也在寻求非洲和阿塞拜疆的天然气供应，以便在没有产能大国天然气的情况下满足自己的需求。

去年夏天，欧盟和阿塞拜疆签署了一项战略伙伴关系协议，双方承诺将所谓的南方天然气走廊的产能增加一倍，到2027年每年至少向欧盟输送200亿立方米的阿塞拜疆天然气。

TotalEnergies Begins Production At Giant Gas Field In Azerbaijan

TotalEnergies and its joint venture partner SOCAR began natural gas production from the Absheron gas and condensate field in the Caspian Sea in Azerbaijan, the French supermajor said on Monday.

The first phase of the development of the Absheron field has a production capacity of 4 million cubic meters of gas per day and 12,000 barrels a day of condensate.

The gas will be sold on the domestic market in Azerbaijan, which could free more gas from other Azerbaijani fields for exports, analysts say.

TotalEnergies and the State Oil Company of the Republic of Azerbaijan (SOCAR) hold a 50% interest each in the Absheron project, which is operated by the joint company Joint Operating Company of Absheron Petroleum (JOCAP).

“The development of the Absheron field provides an additional gas supply to meet growing demand, at a competitive technical cost and low greenhouse gas emissions intensity, in line with TotalEnergies’ strategy,” the French company, which is also a major LNG trader, said in a statement.

Analysts and Europe will be looking very closely at the next development phases of Azerbaijan’s gas fields as Europe seeks to import more gas from suppliers other than the bigger producer.

The EU has diversified its gas imports in the past year as it aims to ditch the bigger producer"s gas by 2027. Europe’s LNG imports have soared, pipeline imports from Norway have also increased to the point of making Norway the EU’s single largest supplier of natural gas.

Europe is also looking at African gas supply, as well as gas from Azerbaijan, to meet its demand without the bigger producer"s gas.

Last summer, the EU and Azerbaijan signed a strategic partnership agreement with which they committed to double the capacity of the so-called Southern Gas Corridor to deliver at least 20 billion cubic meters of Azeri gas to the EU per year by 2027.
